Skip all my classes for a semester and play TES: Oblivion instead. When I failed to graduate on time she was like "our life paths don't line up" and was outta there.

I was going through some shit, and in retrospect, it may have been the shit I was going through and not the wasted semester, which was just a symptom, that was the problem. I continued that downward spiral until I spent a stint homeless.
